Essick Air EP9800 Humidifier User Manual


 
INTRODUCTION
Your new
humidifier adds invisible moisture to your home by moving dry inlet air
through a saturated wick. As air moves through the wick, the water evaporates into
the air, leaving behind any white dust, minerals, or dissolved and suspended solids in
the wick. Because the water is evaporated, there is just clean and invisible moist air.
As the evaporative wick traps accumulated minerals from the water, its ability to
absorb and evaporate water decreases. We recommend changing the wick at the
beginning of every season. In hard water areas, more frequent replacement may be
necessary to maintain your humidifier’s efficiency.

evaporative wick guarantees the certified
output of your humidifier. Use of other brands of wicks voids the certification of
output and may void your warranty.
HOW YOUR
HUMIDIFIER WORKS
Once the wick becomes
saturated, air is drawn in,
passes through the wick
and moisture is absorbed
into the air.
All evaporation occurs in
the humidifier so any
residue remains in the
wick. This natural process
of evaporation creates no
white dust like some other
humidifiers.
Dry air is drawn into the
humidifier though the back
and moisturized as it
passes through the
evaporative wick. It is then
fanned out into the room.
